Arduino MCP Server

السجل الرسمي أخرى

Arduino MCP server for CLI setup, board detection, compile/upload, serial monitoring, and pin refs.

ماذا يمكنك أن تفعل مع Arduino MCP Server؟

  • Detect connected boards and ports automatically
  • Compile and upload sketches without touching the terminal
  • Monitor serial output with stateful sessions (open, read, expect, write, close)
  • Run electrical safety checks before sending commands to hardware
  • Manage dependencies — cores, libraries, and CLI installation

التثبيت

متغيرات البيئة

  • ARDUINO_CLI_PATH Optional path to arduino-cli binary. Defaults to arduino-cli on PATH.
  • ARDUINO_SKETCH_ROOT Optional absolute path restricting sketch operations to this directory.

arduino-mcp-server

Give your AI assistant full control over Arduino — compile, upload, monitor serial, and verify wiring safety, all through natural language.

Part of the HardwareMCP ecosystem — open-source MCP servers that bridge AI to physical hardware.


What this does

AI assistants can control Jira, GitHub, and databases. They can't talk to a microcontroller — until now.

arduino-mcp-server wraps arduino-cli into an MCP server so your AI can:

  • Detect connected boards and ports automatically
  • Compile and upload sketches without touching the terminal
  • Monitor serial output with stateful sessions (open, read, expect, write, close)
  • Run electrical safety checks before sending commands to hardware
  • Manage dependencies — cores, libraries, and CLI installation

Quick Start

Install:

npm install -g arduino-mcp-server

Add to Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arduino": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "arduino-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ARDUINO_CLI_PATH": "arduino-cli",
        "ARDUINO_SKETCH_ROOT": "/path/to/your/sketches"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires arduino-cli on your PATH, or let the server install it for you.


What you can say

Bootstrap from scratch:

"Check if Arduino CLI is installed and set everything up for an Arduino Uno."

Compile and upload:

"Compile my Blink sketch and upload it to the Uno on COM6."

Serial monitoring:

"Open serial on COM6 at 115200 and wait until the device prints READY."

Safety-first workflows:

"Run a safety preflight for an Arduino Uno with 5V on pin 13 at 25mA before I send commands."

الأسئلة الشائعة

ما هو Arduino MCP Server؟

Arduino MCP server for CLI setup, board detection, compile/upload, serial monitoring, and pin refs.

كيف أثبّت Arduino MCP Server؟

يعمل على جهازك. في Claude Code: claude mcp add arduino-mcp-server -e 'ARDUINO_CLI_PATH=<ARDUINO_CLI_PATH>' -e 'ARDUINO_SKETCH_ROOT=<ARDUINO_SKETCH_ROOT>' -- npx -y arduino-mcp-server@0.2.7. وفي العملاء الآخرين، الصق إعداد JSON من هذه الصفحة في إعدادات MCP الخاصة بهم.

هل يحتاج Arduino MCP Server إلى مفتاح API؟

لا يذكر إدراجه في السجل أي مفتاح أو سر إلزامي. قد تتطلب بعض الميزات حسابًا لدى الخدمة التي يتصل بها.

هل Arduino MCP Server مفتوح المصدر؟

نعم. شيفرته متاحة على GitHub بترخيص MIT.

من يصون Arduino MCP Server؟

ينشره akshatnerella. يدرجه AI.tn لكنه لا يصونه ولا يوصي به.
